Fantasy Football Injury Updates

Check out the latest NFL injury news and fantasy football advisories.

Kendre Miller is expected to start the season on the injured list
New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller is expected to begin the 2024 season on the injured list as he recovers from a hamstring injury.

Fantasy influence

Miller has struggled with soft tissue injuries since entering the NFL and could need time to recover. Head coach Dennis Allen has been open about Miller's continued absence from the field, and if he can get healthy again, he can finally reach his full potential and prove he has a place on the roster, although it appears patience is running out in New Orleans.

Tyler Higbee (knee) begins the season with a PUP obligation and misses four games
The Rams keep Tyler Higbee on the PUP list, causing him to miss the first four games of the season.

Fantasy influence

Higbee was unlikely to be fit to start the season. In his absence, Colby Parkinson will likely take over the lead tight end role for the Rams. He is a potential streamer for fantasy managers in favorable matchups early in the season.
